Oliver v5 Build 8.064 was released in October 2024 and is just one of the many updates released throughout the year by the Softlink Development Team. With so many updates planned, you can be sure that there are lots of exciting new features on the horizon!
With security updates being released regularly, it is important to make sure that you’re on the latest version of Oliver v5. Stay up to date by checking the release notes in the Customer Support Portal.
Did you know that your school can have updates to Oliver v5 applied automatically, as soon as they are made available by the Softlink Development Team? This means that library staff have peace of mind that their system is secure and can access all the newest functionality immediately, with no effort required from your IT staff.
All updates approved for automatic download have passed Softlink’s extensive testing process. The updates are applied automatically to your Oliver v5 system during weekends, so library staff don’t experience any down time.
If you would like to turn on the auto update function in your Oliver v5 system, you can find instructions by logging into the Oliver v5 Community Portal. Click on:
Technical Information > Technical Resources > open the article ‘Enabling automatic updates’.
If you take advantage of Softlink’s Hosting Service then Softlink will already be managing this process for you.
If you are part of a group of schools being centrally managed by a Head Office then this process will be managed by the Head Office.
